Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
The house was nice and clean, only 2 TVs worked out of 6, the hot tub was not working and by the time they got it working and heated we only had 1 day left. We still had a good time however I picked this house for the hot tub and TVs in the rooms and those things weren't working so I was pretty disappointed I could have booked cheaper property.
The property was nice. The only issues were:
1- Lower floor was very damp
2- Lower floor. Floor was buckled and could be a trip hazard
3- drain in lower floor bathroom was draining very slowly
4- Master bathroom toilet paper tissue holder screw is loose and need to be tightened.
5- many of the landscaping light were not working. It will
Be nice to have outside a little brighter
But, overal everything was good and we enjoyed the place
Steep stairs to the house were not salted or shoveled when we arrived. Steep driveway was also an ice sheet. Untouched since the snow weeks ago. It was definitely dangerous going down the stairs to bring out kids and things inside. Got inside and the water is brown and has a very strong sulfur smell.
The smell of the water gave me headaches and my wife refused to shower in it. It made me smell a bit like rotten eggs after I showered. The radiator in my kids' bedroom is also broken.
They also provide next to nothing that you would typically need. One roll of TP per toilet. No tissues. No hand soap. Two cubes of soap for the dishwasher. One trash bag. One. For a 3 night rental for 9 people.
This was definitely my worst VRBO experience after renting once or twice per year for many years. We will definitely keep an eye out and avoid Taylor Made in the future.
Good: Location, deck, front yard, good sized kitchen and living room. Close to the grocery and marina and other shops. Short walk to basketball court and dumpster. Fun fire pit. 3 full bathrooms.
Not as good: Could not find the AC so it was quite warm on the main floor. Maybe our fault but we searched and didn’t find the thermostat. No hand soap. Why? No trash bags or cleaning supplies except small dish soap bottle and 2 dish detergent tablets. No garbage disposal. Basement floor very warped and should consider replacing. Ping pong table even more warped. Air hockey table seems not to work properly.
Overall: 4/5. We could live with the temp inside as the great outdoor space made it easier to spend time outside. I would suggest staying but you will have to provide all toiletries and cleaning supplies unlike many other rentals I have stayed in in the past. Owner may want to point out Thermostat. If you’re there to spend most of your time outside this will be a great location.
